State Inspection for Technical Vine and Wine Control – is

engaged in vine planting authorization and certification, using

the planting rights granted from reserves, and is made at

regional level with technical control inspection of wine within

the County Agricultural Direction.

National Office for Vine and Wine Products – is responsible

at national level for granting and managing the planting rights

for vineyards with wine grapes.

Paying and Intervention Agency for Agriculture – it is

involved in the use of planting rights by controlling the areas

with vineyards established by accessing support programs

carried out with community funds.

The role of sectorial institutions in granting

and use of planting rights

The proof the planting rights system worked very well in Romania is that from the initial

planting rights reserve (18.000 ha) were granted about 14.400 ha, of which approximate 7.600 ha

were used, the rest still being in the validity period.

The stages for establishing a vineyard:

- granting the planting right

- authorization

- planting

The implementation of support measures with European funds for restructuring andconversion had a very important role in functioning of the system of planting rights and ensured a

rigorous control in respect of vineyards planting.

The assessment of functioning

the planting right system



17/18

17

Maintaining the planting rights system after 2015, for Romanian producers representsthe only solution for keeping and improving the organized wine market in Romania.

The producers have expressed their disagreement with the eventual liberalization of

planting rights system, as during 2007 – 2011 it has been established vineyards intended exclusively

for the production of wines bearing a designation of origin and/or geographical indication. Theabolition of planting rights will have a great impact over the balance between wines bearing a

designation of origin and/or geographical indication and other wines.

The type of protection and promotion at Community level of designation of origin and

geographical indication represents the right approach in the competition with third wine-producing

countries. EU does not have to make more compromises by eliminating the planting right systemand put its producers in a more difficult position.
